Zum schwarzen Ferkel, Literary gathering place in central Berlin, Germany
The building stands at the intersection of Unter den Linden and Neue Wilhelmstraße, featuring traditional German architectural elements from the late 19th century.
Gustav Türke operated this establishment in the 1890s as a wine shop until August Strindberg named it Zum schwarzen Ferkel after a wine sack at the entrance.
Nordic writers and artists, including Edvard Munch and August Strindberg, gathered regularly at this location to share ideas and create literary works.
The building remains accessible from Unter den Linden street, near several public transportation connections in Berlin's central district.
Inside these walls, Stanisław Przybyszewski met Dagny Juel in 1893, leading to their marriage and subsequent influence on European literary circles.
